I'm in the process of recovering a 1.5TB internal hard drive (WD Caviar Black) that suddenly lost its MFT (probably Ubuntu NTFS issues). Currently it takes about 6 hours to find ~1.2GB of data in ~5 million files (couple of bitbake projects backed up from linux, lots of 1kb makefiles here and there). Here are the relevant the system specs:
Intel 2600k
16GB DDR3 1600
256GB Vertex 4 SSD (boot)
1.5TB WD Caviar Black (storage)
The issue I'm having is that a large number of the found files are given the "unrecoverable" state and I would not like to recover them. When I select ~3 million files with shift they are properly highlighted - this is where the trouble starts. Right-clicking the partial selection, or pressing spacebar to check the boxes, crashes Recuva.
The worst part is that I can check the "check all" box at the top and it will check all the boxes without problem! This is why it sounds like a bug to me.
Advice?
